I don't love those hardcore matches - but if Mox uses those kinds of gruesome affairs to add to his mythos, and is still versatile in other styles, I'm all for it if it doesn't horribly shorten his career.
For instance, most of Foley's deathmatches were the shits, yet still gave him a special aura. But it was only effective because he worked so well with almost every kind of wrestler. I hope Mox can maintain that balance because I like him. |

Hate the idea of "non-sanctioned matches"..... only one I have ever seen done good was Ciampa/Gargano....
Don't like the idea of the main event of their second show ever being "non-sanctioned" either..... Feel like there has to be like a deep seated hatred/long-standing story as to why they would do that..... not on their second show ever..... |

Opening triple threat tag match was great.... that's the way to start a show, not with some terrible Battle Royale.....
I think the team who least should have won the thing won it, though..... think Private Party should of obviously gone over here..... |

"Documentary" segment pretty bad too.... really wish they would cut Kenny Omega away from being goofy and just present him as a "big deal star"....... All this does is hurt him....

A gimmick about someone who reads a lot and pushes books on people could be good..... but this librarian gimmick is terrible, and they gave it to two people......

Well. I never want to see either of those two ever again.
Also, why do a hardcore match when you have a non-sanctioned match that will no doubt get hardcore later on? |

It is weird that they put so much bullshit onto a show that is supposed to entice you.

Props to Khan for immediately squashing the idea that chair shots to the head will be part of AEW. Even with the take that it was a gimmicked chair, it shows how quickly something like that can go wrong. It's just not worth the risks knowing what we know in 2019.

Daniels/Cima a good little opening..... always thought it was cool as a kid when you'd have rasslers from other feds and they always seemed "cool and different" like "whoa there is a bigger world"..... now that I'm an adult and old and jaded, I don't care as much....

Wish that they would "explain" who Excalibur is and why he wears a mask.... like, is he a former pro rassler? Why doesn't he give more "former pro rassler" insight.....
I guess "Goldenboy" for the other dude is also a pretty "un-explained" name too.... just want my commentators to have normal names..... |

The idea being that a non-sanctioned match is too brutal for AEW's own liking but they won't actively stop the two guys from beating up each other. Whatever happens is those guys fault and they are not getting paid for it as well. |

Nyla Rose vs. Japan match was real good, but ending was a bit anti-climactic.....
Definitely a much better showcase for Nyla Rose than her match at Double or Nothing and being overshadowed by Awesome Kong..... seems like smart booking would have kept them apart, and built up to a confrontation between them..... |

MJF promo was just "alright", but he's got potential....
Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc both seem "bad".... Adam Page with some sweet pyro.... but still doesn't seem or look like a main event talent.... Let's see how the match goes.... |

lol at MJF running full speed so he could get flattened by the tower of doom....
Also, very disturbed and distracted by Jimmy Havoc's hairline..... Jungle Boy actually seems like he's got some talent.... just wish he had any name other than Jungle Boy, which is extremely dumb |

Was an alright match, but felt very much like "filler".... Better showcase for Adam Page than that dumb battle royale.... I could see him working good with Jericho now actually....

Nice little hype package before Cody/Darby Allin..... should have had more Darby Allin in the package though, and less Cody/Dustin.....

Commentators putting over Darby Allin and his story pretty good though.....
Weirded out by his ring-gear though.... he needs to improve that I think..... |

Great match between Cody/Allin.... was not expecting to see a time-limit draw at all.... Was "weird" at how time was "winding down" and Cody was all "what do I do?" instead of "Oh, I better try my finisher now".... only finally tried for his finisher at 30 seconds or so....

Dunno why the hell MJF is out here helping Cody.... I know this is maybe "real" and he came out to help his "friend"..... but in-character, he shouldn't give a damn... unless it is like "Oh this is my chance to suck up to the boss"

A good way to play off and get "heat" for Sean Spears I guess.... hopefully everyone forgets about him getting eliminated from a battle royale by a man with no legs....

Feel like just from this entrance and everything around it, Kenny Omega's "starpower" has taken a decrease already.....

I think the fact that MJF actually cares about Cody adds more depth to the character.

My thoughts after the 6-man tag: "Cool, it's over"
Dunno.... already "desensitized" to that "style" of rassling (no psychology, but just lots of cool movez).... felt myself just wanting to "skip to the end" and see the ending of the match.... |

Which is why they need to build them up..... I thought Kenny looked good against Jericho, but he pretty much lost all his "starpower" (or "potential starpower") built up from that event.....
